Update: This is no longer being updated, but we're keeping it around as a relic of a bygone era. So it goes.

Before Matt and I started this blog, we begin keeping a list of all the anti-Semitic comments we could find on the Huffington Post. This post will be where we keep them, and will remain in a sidebar for future reference. It will also be updated as new material eventually becomes available.
This includes it all: False comparisons, accusations of a "Zionist occupied government," and straight up insults. It is worth noting that quite a few of these posts have been deleted, and some of the people who wrote them have been banned. However, just the fact that we were able to see them and record them is a prime example of how lackadaisical the Huffington Post moderation system is. Without further ado, let's get to it:Antisemitism on the Huffington Postrealitycitizen

Obama and Biden are non-issues with regards to this issue. Almost the entire WEST is a non-issue.
They all support the status quo so they are not interested at all in changing anything, just PR stunts.Any enforcement of any deal will be done by Eastern forces, particularly Russia, China, and certain European states who have shed the last vestiges of Jewish servility.Only nations with strong GENTILE populations and governments have the power to stand up to this kind of evil we are seeing in Israel. As for the US, on your knees, ive got something Kosher for ya!

Yes, Rachel Corrie was a typical white westerner who thought that the Israeli were, at heart, a civilized people who shared her American values system [she along with the rest of the American public had been told so by Israeli PR ads on TV] and would therefore respect her, white westerner, life.
She learnt, to her cost, that those PR ads were untrue.
And for this you despise her as an imperialist.

An act of courtesy that was turned into a symbol of humiliation by the ever tactful Israeli "diplomat" involved.It is becoming increasingly obvious that no Israeli is capable of apologizing for anything.

True, murder is clearly an Israeli tradition and those who don't appreciate Israel's traditions are CLEARLY anti-Semetic.

Are you supporting the IDF orders to shoot unarmed civilians? You are correct. Its not like the holocaust. Its more like the ShutzeStaffel killing civilians in Warsaw.

elgringorumbero
Do you really think that Palestinian kids think Israelis are great people and that these cartoons are making them hate??? If so you are really brainwashed. These cartoons are in fact an accurate depiction of what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for over 50 years! Have you bothered to read the numerous reports, many by Israeli soldiers themselves, that Israeli soldiers in Operation Cast lead were order to fire upon civilians?! This is not anti-Semitism! I should know since my grandparents were actual victims of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is not cartoons. It's liquidation of entire villages and the wanton slaughter of women and children. It's what Israel has been doing for over 50 years!

NO you need one if you support genocide and theft and ethnic cleansing if you support them.
Better yet read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

David, as a fellow world traveller and frequent commenter on Israel stories, I have to tell you that reality and knowledge means nothing to some posters here. They live in the alternative universe of "God's chosen people".

It's difficult to motivate soldiers-even Israelis who have been raised on a diet of hate based propaganda-to murder unarmed civilians without a little religious nudge. The use of religion to motivate and justify violence is universal.

Because Bernanke , Greenspan , Volker and the money boys are for the most part Jewish . I am not anti semitic . In fact , my best friend in High School , my room mate at the University , and the best man at my wedding were Jewish . Still , I urge everyone to read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion . Perhaps it was not of Jewish origin , but it was without doubt written by SOME group of International Bankers with designs on Global enslavement of the masses .

Pod-gers [deleted]Here is the US, the MSM is dominated by folks of a certain re lig ion. I'll not state it in an attempt to get past the sensors. This was brought to my attention by a J ew, who runs a blog, and is main driver of J-street. There was quite a discusasion of this "problem" on his blog. That should explain the slanted, biased, warped perspectine that spews out at us.

The holocaust was a despicable thing to do, the world's silence was deafening, but was the leasson learned? NEVER again, but never again to any human being, not only to the jewish people, to everyon But the lesson was not learned and now it is Israel perpetuating the biggest getho in Palestinia with the consent of the jewish world community.
We learned nothing from the senseless deaths, 6 million innocent lives of jews, roma, and other minorities in Europe.
How many more apologies and memorials and land and turning a blind eye to abuse to the palestienas out of guilt, let's move forward and make sure it stops and it does not happen ever again to anyone.

The Palestinian Holocaust continues...........

To answer you last question....to conceal d r t y little secrets.
And yes, they love to play the Anti-S card to silence all criticism.

Rachel Brownlee
Israel has already bought and paid for America - it might as well get a return.

tfred
Anyone who thinks Israel actually wants peace with it's neighbors is crazy. Israel won't be happy until they control the entire area. To humiliate Turkey, one of the few Moslem countries that still talks to them tells the whole story.

pinkibus
Zionists think it is. And it works. Gaza is looking a lot like the Warsaw Ghetto.

jackstpaul
Israel is a domestic Jim Crow nation, and a "foreign" Aparthied occupier.

It seems to me that Adolph [Hitler], the well known homicidal housepainter, sketched for his people’s consumption a crude caricature of Jewry. Yet now, a few short decades later, that same nation seems to be doing their absolute utmost to live down to emulating that very image. And in the process, turn the madman into a prophet.
[response: "I really like the last sentence of your post. Fanned"]

No, no surprise.
But honestly..­.when both Israel and the USA admit funding programs to destabilize a country...­which is already under financial a$sault and trade sanctions.­..and now thre@ts of att@ck due to their legal (arguably) energy developmen­t...and the country is ringed by 24 major USA m!litary bases.....­.I think Iran has some small justification for fe@ring outside funded "rallies".
I'm certain, if the USA had as many thre@ts, we would be taking the same sorts of actions.
[the Joooos extending their tentacles to undermine their enemies from within, using money of course]

America should also require the death penalty for any "ally" that is convicted of espionage against America . It is well known that after Israel stole secrets from America in the 60's that they then sold those secrets to the soviets . Pollard should have been executed and the 5 happy Isralis in new jersey on 911 should have had the same, you know the ones that were dancing and high 5 ing each other when the towers fell and thet were filming it from New Jersey

True. Israeli Jews (not all of course) consider Palestinians and Lebanese people as sub-human. This is well known and well documented and Israeli behavior towards their neighbors is indicative of their beliefs.

Why do Israeli snipers murder women holding white flags in Gaza? Because they’re Palestinians! Correct? But the American media seems to drop stories like that quickly, with no real questions asked. Just like they’ve spent forty-some years trying to make the attack on the USS Liberty go away. Makes you wonder who’s running the show, doesn’t it?

It's high time to grasp the essential fact that there exists a jihadist ideology driven by zealous belief, not downtrodden misery, which has us in its crosshairs -- in the air, on land, and on the high seas. Rather than pretending it doesn't exist, or rationalizing it, or ascribing it to right-wing warmongering, or blaming everyone but those responsible, let's get real and focus on those who wish us harm -- not those, like Israel, who stand with us. -----------------
israel stands with us?? you mean stands in front of us with their hands sticking out wanting
hand outs that they dont have to repay. before the theft of palestine to make room for the jews it was always the white man who went around the globe colonising and raping other nations, not the arabs.it wasnt the arabs who started wwI or ww2, it was the white man because of the non assimilating jews. how far back do you want to go? lets blame the british for giving away land they had no right to.
or lets blame Adam and Eve for starting this whole mess to begin with. your article is nothing more than a suck up to the israeli's to legitmise what they are doing to the palestinians. they learned what they learned because they have to keep an entire people down and never let them up.

As long as we continue to support the middle east's moast base violater of UN resolutions and basic human rights, not to mention invading and occupying another's lands, we will need Iran to justify our military spending. Israel is the base cause of most of the trouble in the Middle East....Iran is their sworn enemy..therefore, Israel has decided that America must destroy Iran..they are willing to let America destroy itself in the process. After all, we are not the Chosen People...we just do their bidding.

Goldman Sachs and Israel run the US Govt... that is the US Govt will NEVER do anything to upset either.

The New Israel Lobby
The Israel lobby had succeeded in ruling almost any criticism of Israel out of bounds, especially in Congress. “The bottom line,” Mearsheimer and Walt wrote, “is that Aipac, a de facto agent for a foreign government, has a stranglehold on Congress, with the result that U.S. policy is not debated there, even though that policy has important consequences for the entire world.”http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/magazine/13JStreet-t.html?hpw

There is no doubt about the Christian heritage of the founding fathers of this nation. Those beliefs are tightly woven together with our national traditions and therefore we respect them. We can not throw them out. If your family has come here since 1776, you must respect what was here before you arrived. Adding respect for other religions traditions will never hurt us as a nation.I wish I could feel good about anything Hebraic, but they are an exclusive religion that only grudgingly opens up to others outside their own sphere. They want rights and privileges that they themselves are unable to give to others, which is respect and tolerance. They don't see the two sides of their own coin. One should always look to how they are treating the Palestinians to observe their true nature. They do that on the American taxpayers dime, and this is what I object to.

Elie Wiesel vs Encyclopaedia Britannica
Wiesel has been one of the most prominent spokesman for the very sizeable group of people known as Holocaust survivors. [According to Norman Finkelstein of the City University of New York in his book The Holocaust Industry published in the year 2000, ‘The Israeli Prime Minister’s office recently put the number of "living Holocaust survivors" at nearly a million’ (p.83)]. Wiesel has chaired the US Holocaust Memorial Council and has been the recipient of a Congressional Gold Medal and Nobel Peace Prize...
Time Magazine, March 18 1985:
‘How had he survived two of the most notorious killing fields [Auschwitz and Buchenwald] of the century? "I will never know" he says. "I was always weak. I never ate. The slightest wind would turn me over. In Buchenwald they sent 10,000 to their deaths every day. I was always in the last hundred near the gate. They stopped. Why?"
Compare this with Encyclopaedia Britannica (1993), under ‘Buchenwald’:
"In World War II it held about 20,000 prisoners.. Although there were no gas chambers, hundreds perished monthly through disease, malnutrition, exhaustion, beatings and executions."

It's now official - there's been no actual shortage of Holocaust survivors:
'The Israeli Prime Minister's office recently put the number of "living Holocaust survivors" at nearly a million' (extract from The Holocaust Industry by Norman G. Finkelstein of the City University of New York, published by Verso, London and New York, 2000, p.83).

Statement by Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus
University of Ulster, December 5, 2005:
"I've checked out the six volumes of Churchill's Second World War and the statement is quite correct - not a single mention of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war.
Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; Churchill's Second World War totals 4,448 pages; and De Gaulle's three-volume Mémoires de guerre is 2,054 pages.
In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war."

SpoonieLuv
Oh Cuthbert, usually trying to evict an entire ethnic group from their land would be considered r.acist, but when you're talking about Israel, it's a virtue.

Americafirst2008Judeofacists never did anything for America, we need to keep our tax dollars at home rather than fund these racists. These facists don't deserve to have a higher standard of living than Americans, whose tax dollars are squandered on these thugs.Let me guess, the huffpo censors will stop this and only allow me to post if I throw in bogus and stupid terms like islamofacist (which makes no sense), or if I use the misquote of what the figurehead president of Iran said about Israel.

Wisdo
The institutionalised theft of properties like this backed up by justice system which is systemically racist is one of the many reasons Israel cannot be considered a true democracy.

I mean right after the first copy of the talmud came outDo you still practice what the talmud said about raping 3 year old girls ?

baffy
Looks like Israel better move forward soon or a one state solution will be a fait accompli which many of us look forward to. Israel has had many chances to do the right thing but is just too greedy.

It [a holocaust] is beginning to happen to the Palestinians.

The Warsaw Ghetto is a great predecessor to Gaza.

futate01 [deleted]
It [another holocaust in Israel] would not happen if they were not so aggresssive and unfair in their approach. You reap what you sow.

The article [Auschwitz blueprints] reminds the masses to have sympathy for Israel and Jews. Reflecting of the Holocaust would be better served if it is not exploited for political gain. It's a new milenia, for god's sake.

**Psst!!** Not that I agree with them, but perhaps you wouldn't have so many deniers if you didn't act like you were the only large group of people put to de/ath in a horrible manner within the last century. Because a million Jews are different than a million Armenians or Chinese or Cambodians, or Russians, or Iraqis? I think not. Just a different point of view is all. Get mad if you want, I care not.

One has to understand Judaism in order to understand Israel. Judaism believes they are the Chosen People, so they have to defeat everyone else: Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Atheists, etc. That is why there are so many wars between everyone else. Israel wants to defeat everyone else by making everyone else against each other. [deleted]

"Do you think these facts are unrelated to an ongoing occupation from a foreign military which has been settling their land steadily and has divided their territory into tiny bantustans, while imprisoning anyone who shows any sign of fighting back? Nah. That is totally unrelated. It is all due to the inferiority of the Palestinian people. They don't recognize the master class of Israelis - that's their problem. If only they could learn civilization from their betters. Oh, did I mention that God likes Israel better? It says so in the Torah."

"Can never happen as long as U.S. has veto power in the U.N. and Israel owns the U.S Congress.
Time for Europe and America to give up their guilt trip over the Holocaust and recognize that Israel has become the very kind of oppressors they once fought against."

"Israel will remain on its present course of territorial expansion and will never allow return of the West Bank. Not going to happen. I wish Israelis well generally, but Israel is a psychopathic state."

"AIPAC's and Pro-Zionist strongholds on US foreign policy and media are showing signs of weakening (see recent libel spread about NIAC and J Street by AIPAC associates). Their propaganda efforts aren't nearly as effective as they used to be either."

What ever happened to Jesus Christ anyway?
Oh yea.
Right.
He was selectively crucified." [I don't really understand this post, but it's in a thread about the Goldstone Report in Congress.M: The word "selectively" seems to indicate Jesus was killed for a reason, and since it's a thread about Israel, my interpretation is that he's reminding us who killed Jesus (i.e., the Jews). Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I don't think so]

"The Wikipedia reference [about the anti-Semitic myth of the "Zionist Occupied Government"]was irrelevant to the point of being ridiculous.
It is fact that AIPAC controls our Senate, House, & Oval Office.
Just look at Obama groveling at the feet of his Zionist masters.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=033gCiurxbg"

[deleted] "There would always be a large element in the European population whose worldview was founded on Jew hatred."

And so now that these European Jews have a "state" of their own, they are able to commit genocide on the Palestinians - the very people that had NOTHING to do with European Jewish extermination? The nerve......."
[In a thread that had to do with Jewish emancipation, and not with Israel.]

"Israel has no chance of survival WITH american support . Like the bully whose big brother stands behind him Israel will never moderate its behaviour as long as it has carte blanche. There was peace in the world while Russia and America had MAD (mutually assured destruction) because that made both partys deal , it would be a good thing if a couple of countrys had nukes in the Mideast to counter Israel . I srael will not and did not sign the NPP , does not allow their nukes to be inspected. So why should anyone demand this from Iran . Israel's behavour has cost it many friends . Even in America , if aid to Israel needed to be voted on in an ellection , they would be on their own and if the people had any say in foreign policy the inevitable veto every time israel gets in trouble would be a thing of the past , we have our own problems . We could afford Universal healthcare for all americans on the aid we sent to israel over the last 60 years.( this will never be posted because only jews get to moderate posts on israel)"

"Israel flies military aircraft into Lebanon every day, not just into Hezbollah or Shiite areas, but ALL over the country - over Beirut, over Tripoli, everywhere. This has been going on for years. So don't bother with the Hezbollah-­is-the-agg­ressor propaganda. Lebanon is the only country I know of in the Middle East that has it's sovereignty violated on a daily basis - and Israel is the clear violator here. So next time Hezbollah or any group in Lebanon shoots off rockets into Israel, don't go crying about it.
"Speaking of which, why isn't Israel on our list of terrorist states? Oh yeah, because they bought our Congress."

btw, Where is the mysterious arms ship Israel captured and says is full of "civilian specific" arms for Hizbollah? You know, the box and crates that the ships crew says were not opened and inspected on the ship...so there would be witnesses to what if anything was actually in the boxes?
Hmmmmm.....The Israeli propaganda Factory has gone strangely silent.....for supposedly catching the "enemy" red-handed."

"Jews make up 3% of the population in america, why do they get so much air time compared to other minorities? So many of the politicians pander for their vote, or is it for their money to help them get elected."

"Be careful if you accuse them of Racism, or say they are mistreating innocent people they might call you an Anti-Semite. How many tax dollars do I pay to Empower these racists?
Racism is not ok in America, but its perfectly fine for Americans to support racism overseas, in the form of tax dollars of course... supported by your local senator."

"Wrong! Netanyahooo to Abbas. Netanyahooo is just carring on Sharons (the bulldozers) policies. The Israeli crimes against Palistinians has gone back decades. Only money matters to the Israelis, that and land, so we have to cut off those subsities(billions) we give them before they will seriosly broker a deal."

"ISRAELS main talent is spending other peoples money.....­..namely..­.........a­merican tax payers money.........if they are so damned money-smart why are they leeching off america.....OBAMA is like the stern parent who says to israel.......no more..i'm cutting your allowance.."

[deleted] "Get ready for Israeli propaganda spewed out by their American compatriiots who own the media. And AIPAC will draft and send around a letter on the Hill for our elected representatives to sign and send to Obama, who probably knows that there's not a chance for him in the next election if he crosses Netanyahu. The AJC is ready to jump up and down in all of our ears. But if we stand firm and indicate to the AJC that enough is enough and that we are ready to have a national boycott against all Jewish owned businesses, we can win. It's not a hate crime to hate what the AJC has done to our country on behalf of Israel."

"In the occupied territories, settlement creation is an act of naked aggression.

For all the Israel screams about Hamas or Hezbollah using human shields, their own policy of moving civillians into a war zone to cement Israeli control is identical in all significant respects.
So, if Israel wants to see an end, or even a pause in rocketfire, they will have to commit to a freeze.
After all, on a number of occasions the Palestinians have made, and kept, ceasefires of varying durations, but at no time has Israel ever stopped creating settlements."

"You know they enjoy the bickering. If they weren't doing that they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. Word on the street is that the Israelis want to rebuild the third temple so they can hold animal sacrifices. o.0 Cheers"

"Has it occured to you that those who do oppose such "love a foreign country more than your own" lobbies are those who KNOW that the Zionist state is racist, aggressive, violates all international laws, and has never been, never will be interested in "peace". So, don't waste your breath."

"The pro Israel's should be ashamed of them self by supporting this anti Palestinian attitude on any thing they do to make a living for them self under this circumstances. get a life be human for a change ."

"Your comment lacks historical context.
It assumes Jews were not active politically in Germany and elsewhere for many decades....but just went to the camps calmly.
No more justiiable than targeting for someone's ethnicity or religion, the German's targeted Jew's to a large part due to their heavy involvement in the communist party....which very actively opposed the new and trendy ideology...which would ultimately lead to the holocaust."

"Because they [Israel] have become used to getting away with playing the "poor little us" card, which is actually a Race Card. If you don't like them playing the Poor Little Us card, you are anti-Semitic. That's supposed to keep you from complaining about them."

"Yet, again, Israel is caught spying on the US....either they have the poorest record of spying on America or they are just inept....either way, they are proving that they hate this place just as much as they do Iran, Gaza, etc....They are among the richest people in the world and we accept their spying while paying them billions.....AND OUR POLITICIANS DO NOTHING BUT TAKE MORE MONEY FROM AIPAC!!!!"

"So, the FBI poses as Mossad....­.apparentl­ly they also are bigots and anti semites...anyone who dares to oppose Israel is branded...well, too damn bad...there is no Israel, there is only Occupied Palestine, and the mythical state of Israel will eventually collapse or be forced to accommodate the rightful owners...Israel is caught so many times spying on this country, our own police can catch many by imitating Mossad....what a laugh..."

[deleted] "It's Israel that is a terrorist, racist, elitist rogue state

"In 1947 99% of the World saw the Jews as victims and supported them completely, In 2009 99% of the World see them as the root cause of the middle east wars and reject them completely, why can't they ever learn."

""Anti-semitism was created." Exactly.
And if it is meaningless to call Arabs Semites, then it is equally meaningless to call the Jews Semites.
Abrham was the father of both Arabs and Jews and to exclude one in favour of the other is plain bias."

[not necessarily directed at Jews but definitely at Israel supporters] "They are not about to give up one of their most closely held myths.

It justify's the need to have something they can pour all their stored up h@te and bigotry into.
They cultivate it like a little garden.
Besides, enough of their favorite politicians and media say the same thing...so it's "official" and they have permission."

"Palestinian kids don't need to be taught it; they're living it. There's a really good reason why IDF officers planning the Israeli 2002 attack on the Jenin Refugee camp closely studied the tactics used in the Waffen SS assault on the Warsaw Ghetto, and that's because the conditions were so similar. Apart from the actual death camps*, which Israel has never come close to replicating, life in the Israeli-occupied west bank and nazi-occupied Warsaw are very similar.
"Palestinians don't have to wear yellow stars, but they do have to have distinctive license plates on their cars, and to stay off the 'Israelis only' roads and highways.
"Yes, it's rude to refuse to teach the Holocaust to Palestinian children, but considering the conditions they're living under, Israel's demand that they do so adds insult to the injury of living under occupation. Even for the nation that invented chutzpah."

"If there was ever a time for AIPAC to register as an agent of a foreign government, now is the time.
For far too long there has been an illegal Israeli occupation of the US Senate, House & Oval Office. It's disgusting that that corrupt little country can dictate Middle Eastern policy to the US.

[deleted] "writerjohnny,
yours is an optimistic perspective because it overlooks the fact that American jews do control the money, the media, and information and as such their role in U.S. foreign policy particularly in the Middle East is absolutely out of proportion to their numbers (2%) in the population."

"You're not Israeli, but you definitely a Jewish Zionist. I am a great judge of morality and the ad-hominem in really unnecessary when you can't answer a simple question about morality. But it's typical of your type."

"I'm Jewish...and have been all my life ;-) and it is a complete embarressment for many Jews, when Zionists constantly scream "anti-semitism", any time anyone, (including this so called self-hating Jew), voices any criticism of any Israeli or Jewish policy that is harmful...to others AND Israel.

It does not serve Jews or Israel for so many to be seen wearing their victimhood like a habit.
It is about time to stop trying to blunt inconvenient subjects and conversation with this bully tactic...and instead deal with it like every other rational person does."

"We must also realize that while firing the rockets was both ineffectual and wrong, much of it ws retaliation for Israel assassinations and attacks on Palestinian civilians. Whenever Hamas would honor a cease fire Israel would provoke some group in Gaza by attacking the Gazans during the ceasefire. The Israeli government used their own citizens as cannon fodder for their own nefarious puposes."

alysheba3
"Like an Israeli supporter would know what is democratic. Israel isn't.The public did not elect Abbas or Fatah, and I can guarantee the Hamas Members of Parliament did not vote for Abbas to head the government. The people who voted for Abbas to lead the Palestinians were the US and Israel. No democracy in action there."

cardineau
Citizens of Israel, or Jewish citizens of the US and other western world countries, control directly or indirectly, most of the banks and money institutions which support the US. The US media, and its powerful movie industry, as well as the very strong Israeli lobby in Washington, are also controlled and heavily influenced by Israel and its dual citizenship policy. Most politicians in Washington know that if they vote anything against the interest of Israel, these powerful forces will wreck their careers. So, until we are brave enough to sack everyone in Washington, we will be saddled with this conundrum.

Being offended by reminders of how the Jews killed Jesus is not being oversensitive: the Jews didn't kill Jesus. The Romans had taken away their authority to issue death sentences, and so Jesus' death sentence was given by Pontius Pilate. Accusing Jews of killing Jesus is like accusing redheads of killing him, because Judas happened to be a ginger.

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried to be as nasty and racist as I could.

I wish someone would do something like this for the comment threads on the CBC. The comments that get through there are more or less the same.

They problem is, it's one thing to call them out on these things and identify these comments, but how do you get the media sources to actually block hate speech and further, how do we change hateful attitudes. Blocking a comment does not change the attitude behind it.

@Anonymous,A good portion of these comments have not been deleted. And even when they eventually were, the vast majority of Israel threads are fully moderated, which means each post is viewed by someone at the Huffington Post before it is posted online. Therefore, that someone or someones allowed all of these posts to go through intentionally. That is something worthy of criticism.

I've often noticed that, on moderated threads, comments I've made condemning unwarranted attacks on Israel (And not all attacks are unwarranted: No nation is perfect!) take HOURS to get on... If ever they do, while responses to those comments - ocassionaly, though rarely, blantantly anti-Semitic - appear within moments

The huffpost along with other far left sites are filthy cesspools. Jews who still identify with the political left need to have their heads examined.

It must really make the anti-Semites seethe if they see how a tiny nation like Israel from the other side of the world is doing the most disproportionately to aid Haiti. Israel is both morally and technically superior to its enemies.

I agree with anonymous above that this is a pathetic site, but not that it is a kkk of the jews, far from it. But because it is a very immature site.It doesn't deal with the cause of anti-semitism at all, which is a common zionist failing.

Anonymous, I would refer you to these two postshttp://thebrothersofjudea.blogspot.com/2010/04/causes-of-anti-semitism-jewish-law.htmlhttp://thebrothersofjudea.blogspot.com/2010/03/causes-of-anti-semitism-jewish-god.html

This is the mission statement of the Brothers of Judea's blog:

The Internet news website the Huffington Post has become a home to a subsect of commentators expressing anti-Israel hate speech and anti-Semitism. We are two brothers dedicated to exposing these people and revealing their hatred, as well as dismantling some of their arguments. If you would like to help us, you can comment on the posts or contact us at jbrothersblog@gmail.com.
